“All things come into being by conflict of opposites.”
Fragments • Heraclitus“Before entering any occupation, diligent preparation is to be undertaken.”
On Duties • Marcus Tullius Cicero“There are not more than five musical notes, yet the combinations of these five give rise to more melodies than can ever be heard.There are not more than five primary colors, yet in combination they produce more hues than can ever been seen.There are not more than five cardinal tastes, yet combinations of them yield more flavors than can ever be tasted.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“I have always thought that clarity is a form of courtesy that the philosopher owes; moreover, this discipline of ours considers it more truly a matter of honor today than ever before to be open to all minds … This is different from the individual sciences which increasingly [interpose] between the treasure of their discoveries and the curiosity of the profane the tremendous dragon of their closed terminology.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset“If a man aspires towards a righteous life, his first act of abstinence is from injury to animals.”
The First Step • Leo Tolstoy
